C16 Wensi Tofu
Shen Wanyu smiled obsequiously. "Master Tiehshan, my grandfather was just joking. Don't trust him. My grandfather told me that you are his only opponent in this world."
Qi Zheng could not help laughing when he saw her expression change so quickly.
He did not know if she was making things up or if Shen Baishu had indeed said those words.
In short, he felt a little proud in his heart when he heard it. Although Shen Baishu died early, his eyesight was not bad.
After she said this, Tia Shan found her a lot more pleasing to the eye. He said, "Little girl, why do you want to learn cooking?"
Shen Wanyu's expression was serious as she said, "I want to take the chef's certificate and become a special chef to promote Shen family's culinary skills."
Although she had some ambition, Tia Shan still did not think highly of her.
He stroked his beard and said, "Learning to cook is not an easy thing. You need to work very hard to learn. You, a delicate little girl, can't take this hardship. "
Shen Wanyu said seriously: "Master Tiehshan, I have been studying cooking since I was eight. It has been ten years. As long as I can learn how to cook well, I can endure any kind of hardship."
As she spoke, she opened her palm. On her palm, there was a thick layer of calluses on her index finger.
Qi Zheng's gaze also landed on her palm. A trace of pity flashed through his eyes.
After a long silence, he suddenly said, "If the descendant of the Shen family can become your disciple, it means that your culinary skills are recognized by the people of the Shen family. This is a matter that has a lot of face."
Tia Shan could tell that she often held a kitchen knife in her hand. And Qi Zheng's words had touched Tia Shan's heart.
He rubbed his round belly and said: "It's time for dinner. I'm a little hungry."
Shen Wanyu understood tacitly. She smiled brightly. "Master, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you right away"
Just as she finished speaking, Tia Shan quickly rejected her. He glared at her and said, "I didn't admit that you are my disciple!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wanyu again. He said, "Whatever the kitchen has, you can cook it."
He wanted to test her talent. As a chef, not only did she have to work hard, if her talent was not good, even if she was Shen Baishu's granddaughter, he would not give her a chance.
Shen Wanyu happily replied, "Okay." Then she quickly went to the kitchen.
Qi Zheng also went to the kitchen to help her.
There were all kinds of dishes in the fridge. It could be seen that Tia Shan was a person who loved delicious food very much.
Shen Wanyu scanned the dishes. After a glance, she chose a piece of white and tender tofu and some ingredients.
Qi Zheng glanced at the ingredients in her hands and saw the light in her eyes. She was full of confidence. He immediately had a guess. "You want to cook a Wensi Tofu?"
Shen Wanyu nodded and said, "The Wensi Tofu tests knife skills the most. I need to let him see my strength."
It was not strange that Qi Zheng could guess this. People like him had eaten all kinds of delicious food.
Qi Zheng smiled and took the ingredients from her hands and said, "I'll wash them for you."
With Qi Zheng's help, Shen Wanyu could concentrate on cutting the tofu.
The Wensi Tofu dish sounded simple, but the actual workmanship was very complicated.
She had to cut the tofu into thin filaments the size of hair.
Fortunately, Shen Wanyu's knife skills were not bad. She held the kitchen knife and in the blink of an eye, she cut the entire piece of tofu into thin threads.
She turned her head and saw that Qi Zheng had already finished washing the ingredients. She smiled and thanked him. She took the ingredients from his hands and sliced the chicken, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms into thin strips.
After she put the tofu pudding into the boiling water, she found a pot of boiled chicken soup in the kitchen.
Shen Wanyu scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup and tried it. The chicken soup was incomparably delicious. This soup was brewed using the tea flower chicken that was unique to the southwest region. The soup was rich and odorless. It was very suitable to be used to cook this Wensi Tofu.
After she poured the chicken soup into the pot and boiled it, she poured all kinds of ingredients into the pot. The ingredients rolled in the soup. The complicated colors interweaved into a fresh scene. The collision of food could always produce an inconceivable fragrance.
This fragrance drifted down the window on the second floor, wandering on the street.
The pedestrians who had just finished work and were preparing to have lunch smelled this fragrance and felt very hungry. They all turned their heads and looked towards the inconspicuous private restaurant.
Those people had not decided where to eat. When they smelled this fragrance, they immediately made a decision. In just a moment, many people entered the Shanmu Private Restaurant. The little shop assistant in the shop was too busy.
Tia Shan sat in the living room and took a deep breath of the fragrance from the kitchen. He thought to himself, "Not bad!" Just by smelling the fragrance, he was attracted by the dish. It could be seen that her culinary skills were not bad.
It was just that he did not know if the dish she cooked was good or not.
He looked at her a few times and saw that Shen Wanyu was still busy in the kitchen. He was not in a hurry and patiently waited for her to prepare the dishes.
Shen Wanyu placed Chao Chao's tofu pudding into the chicken soup and boiled it. Only when the fresh fragrance of the chicken soup completely seeped into the tofu pudding did she scoop the tofu pudding out and place it into the soup bowl.
After the tofu pudding was placed into the soup, it dispersed. It mixed with the ingredients in the soup, forming a beautiful scene.
Shen Wanyu was quite satisfied with the dish she made. Qi Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her lowering her head and staring at the soup bowl. Her attentive look was very attractive.
Since it was eating, she naturally couldn't just cook one dish. She took out various ingredients from the fridge and quickly stir-fried a few dishes. She and Qi Zheng carried the dishes out together.
old master Tiehshan saw that the food was ready and naturally did not hold back anymore. He even forgot to pick up his walking stick, so he stood up and walked quickly to the dining table.
Tia Shan was attracted by the Wensi Tofu in the big bowl of soup at first glance.
He scooped a mouthful of boiling chicken soup and blew on it before putting it into his mouth. The tofu was smooth and delicate, and the chicken soup was fragrant. In his mouth, it was as if there were two fresh smells competing. They filled his entire mouth and impacted his brain.
He slowly closed his eyes and carefully savored the delicacy of the food.
The tofu and ingredients were very delicate. After the chicken soup and food that already had a very strong taste fused together, the fresh and sweet taste increased by another level. However, there was one thing that was very unfortunate.
Shen Wanyu was originally full of confidence. But after she saw that he ate a mouthful and did not speak, she immediately became somewhat perturbed. Could it be that the dish she made was not delicious?
Shen Wanyu's pitch-black eyes revealed a nervous look. She waited for a long while before Tia Shan opened his small eyes.
He looked at Shen Wanyu and said, "Little girl, your craftsmanship is not good enough. Although your knife skills are in place, the taste of this dish is a little lacking. If you add a little bit of ham shredded inside, this dish will be even better."
When Shen Wanyu heard this sentence, she immediately came to a realization. The Wensi Tofu was personally taught by her grandfather when he was still alive. But no matter how many times she cooked this dish, it was different from the taste that her grandfather made. So this was the difference!
It was because she had put in one less ingredient!
This way, she was even more certain that she wanted to acknowledge him as her master. Only by following a culinary expert to learn could her culinary skills improve!
She said agitatedly, "Thank you for pointing out my shortcomings. I will definitely correct it in the future. Please give me a chance."
Master Tiehshan saw Shen Wanyu looking at him earnestly and had other plans in his heart. He stared at her and said, "Now I am hungry. When I'm full, let's talk about something else!"
Shen Wanyu heard his words and felt that there was still hope. She quickly helped Master Tiehshan get a bowl of rice.
The three of them used rice together. After they finished eating, an hour had passed.
Qi Zheng cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Master Tiehshan heard that he was full and sat on the sofa. He looked at Shen Wanyu who was standing in front of him and sighed to himself.
He said, "Little girl, my sect has a rule that every generation of disciples can only accept nine disciples in their lifetime. Now that my last disciple has already graduated, according to the rules, I cannot accept you as my disciple anymore."
It was rare for her to reach such a level of culinary skills at such a young age. Her talent was very high. If he had met her a few years earlier, he would have taught her everything.
Shen Wanyu did not expect such an outcome. She was not depressed in her heart. Perhaps she really did not have fate with Master Tiehshan. But fortunately, she didn't meet him in her previous life, but at least she met him in this life.
At least she had fulfilled her wish.
Shen Wanyu was comforting herself when she suddenly heard Master Tiehshan say, "Little girl, if you are willing, come to my store and work for three months. How much you can learn depends on your ability. "
